Tim Godfrey, a dynamic singer, songwriter, and founder of the renowned Fearless Concert, created “God Turned It Around” to deliver a powerful, declarative message based on Genesis 50:20—that what the enemy meant for evil, God has turned around for good. The track’s nearly eleven-minute length allows for an intense, protracted moment of worship, blending African rhythmic elements with a polished, international sound, which is characteristic of Godfrey’s innovative style. Its significant impact lies in its immediate use as an anthem of hope and testimony across the Christian world, affirming the Nigerian artist’s position as a driving force in contemporary worship.
